Rollerball 2001

John McTiernan’s ROLLERBALL takes place in the not too distant future, and the future is fierce. A notorious renegade sport, ROLLERBALL packs arenas all over the world. A global viewership bets and roots for star players Jonathan Cross (Chris Klein), Marcus Ridley (LL Cool J) and their beautiful teammate Aurora (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) who skate and motorcycle past opponents to score. Despite the danger of the game, the real threat lies in team owner Petrovich (Jean Reno) who sacrifices anything and anyone to maximize ratings, which are worth more to him than the final score. In a heroic move, Jonathan and his teammates attempt to expose the corruption and treachery. It is a risky play and the penalty is lethal.

Rollerball's Got the Look

Premiere Mag and French Premiere offer new images, plus McTiernan and Klein comment on the production.

So far so cool. Dark Horizons is pointing readers to new images of Jonathan Cross (Chris Klein), Marcus Ridley (LL Cool J, above), Aurora (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) and Petrovich (Jean Reno, below) making an appearance at the website for the French edition of Premiere. The production is looking very slick indeed.

And on tap with a couple more new Rollerball pictures (below) is the latest issues of Premiere Magazine.

The feature also offers a few words from director John McTiernan and star Chris Klein. Via telephone from the set outside Montreal, McTiernan refers to a scene he's going to shoot which will require infrared lights photographed with special camera lenses. He tells the author, "I'm about to start 14 hours in the dark. We've got the whole crew wandering around with night-vision glasses. I don't think anyone's ever done anything like this."

In preparing for his role in the film Chris Klein spent six weeks training with the Canadian Olympic Speed Skating Team. He says, "Being six feet tall and almost 200 pounds, I wasn't meant to be on wheels. I decided that in order for me to be actively involved, I had to be a really good skater. I've definitely taken my share of falls. I've got some pretty good bumps and bruises. It was humbling."
